The isotopic composition of the rare earth element neodymium (Nd) has the potential to
serve as water-mass tracer, because it is naturally tagged by continental sources with …

Publisher Summary The steady improvement in the understanding of the marine
biogeochemical cycles for many elements is intimately linked to the understanding of the …

The CaCO3 content of marine sediments in many regions of the ocean has varied
systematically with climate throughout the late-Pleistocene glacial cycles. Both biological …

Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the efforts to use naturally occurring U-and Th-
decay series nuclides as tracers of ocean circulation/mixing in open-ocean and coastal …

We investigated the controls of hydrography and of scavenging on the distribution of the
particle reactive radionuclides 231Pa and 230Th in the water column and in surface …

The predictable in situ production of 230Th from the decay of uranium in seawater, and its
subsequent removal by scavenging onto falling particles, provides a valuable tool for …

This study examines the broad implications of diffusive transport induced fractionations on
the interpretation of isotopic processes in the geophysical environment using the example of …

The normalization of sediment accumulation rates by 230Th is increasingly used to
constrain particle rain rates because 230Th is produced at a known rate in the water column …

A record of radionuclide fluxes at a deep marginal sea of the Northwest Pacific Ocean (39°
40′ N 132° 24′ E, Japan Basin, East Sea/Sea of Japan) was obtained from analysis of a 1 …

Der Ozeanzirkulation kommt durch die Verteilung von Wärme, Feuchtigkeit und CO2 eine
Schlüsselrolle unter den Einflussfaktoren auf das Klima zu. So werden klimatische …
